To get around the constraints of quantum physics, EPFL researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the ...

Elemind, a startup founded by MIT researchers, has developed an electroencephalogram (EEG) headband that emits acoustic ...

These sound-absorbers play with biophilia in decorative and innovative ways, from incorporating pressed flowers (and their smells) to sculpting organic forms and turning citrus into acoustic pulp.

Recent advances in metamaterials, particularly metasurfaces, are driving a transformative shift in quantum photonics. Metasurfaces, composed of one or a few layers of tailored nano-resonators, offer ...

Drawing from decades of research, Sir Pendry explored how metamaterials challenge the limits of traditional optics and open new possibilities for manipulating light, with applications ranging from ...

These include new types of fabrics that can serve as lightweight sound barriers, and acoustic metamaterials that can modify and even cloak sound waves. Beyond the Noise The quest for quieter ...

Known as metamaterials because they take us beyond the properties of conventional materials, they display remarkable effects not found in nature, such as negative refraction. Spurred on by these new ...
